    funny those generalizations: in Germany most people practice the "push ventilation" especially in colder seasons in which u open most windows for 10 minutes twice a day. if u live in newer or just renovated places you want to have the windows open to get rid of the toxic air... especially if u have young kids or babies... ac air aint fresh air... 😂

    Nah, Europe is too diverse to make such a generalisation. The one thing that is universal among the many European countries, is that Americans too readily lump cultures together without any insight.

    uhhh...Germany is not representative of all of Europe. Germans are known to have some of the best English. They start learning it at a young age in school. By contrast, I lived in France for 2 years (France and England are the worst in Europe at foreign languages) and they _legitimately_ do NOT know English.

      Variations in pronunciations of english across different regions and cultures are valid. If you can't understand this you need a linguistics 101 lesson. It's is literally one of the first principles taught in any university communication, english, or general language course. AAVE, Australian Aboriginal English, pidgin, all valid. And yes, in some areas and communities that includes pronouncing ask like "axe".

    There's two things to consider as to why europeans are better at English than Americans. Firstly, nearly all europeans speak more than 1 language and they normally start learning right after mastering the alphabet. Secondly, they learn english from the source and not the copy, britain. They only use and accept british english as this first and foremost is closely related to their own language and many words are so identical you can't actually tell them apart but also because by learning true english they can unlock the world in doing so whereas if they learn the copy, american, they are limited and when most of them will travel to britain in their Lifetime, american copy will not really help them reading words with special letters in true english that americans decided to remove such as ç ï œ æ ö etc. true english contains a lot of these and they are imporant as they not only tell you how to say the word, they also can tell you the words history and its origin language, something very few Americans actually have the skill to do.

    Sooooo true!!! 🧡 I'm German, and I can promise you that whenever someone asks me on the street, I always start by saying ‚I can't speak English‘, I've really struggled to get used to it over the last few years. Because all Germans always say that and, above all, believe it and they are really, really embarrassed to speak English! So true! 😂
